B.1992 Tehran, Iran

Farbod Elkaei (b. 1992) is an artist working with the medium of oil and acrylic, often of paintings of landscapes and plains. More recently, working with large canvases, the artist draws influences from nature but reimagines them as familiar geometrical forms, drawing a connection between observation and imagination. For his Fragmented Body series, his paintings speak to the abstraction of the body engulfed in spaces by way of a connection between the geometrical abstractions of the landscapes themselves. Farbod’s work has been defragmented from boxes into figures.
